Friday 25th May until Saturday 26th May

36 Non-stop hours!

Take part in our wildlife event to collect exciting new data about the cemetery's biodiversity!

From Friday 25th May until Saturday 26th May, volunteer naturalists will run FREE site activities for schools, families and general visitors.

A host of activities running over 36 hours will help visitors explore the site, learn about its wildlife and spot many different species as they can.  All data collected will add to our understanding of the amazing diversity of life at Arnos Vale.

 Hundreds of schools, families and general visitors will take part in spotting the diverse species that call Arnos Vale their home and will record the site's biodiversity.

This event will be run by Bristol Natural History Consortium (BNHC) and is FREE to attend.

We're in the early stages of planning the Bioblitz 2012 and details will be updated on the website as they happen.  Find out more by going to the Bioblitz webpage

Arnos Vale follows in the footsteps of previous Bioblitz locations such as Tyntesfield, Blaise Estate and Ashton Court, and you can read last year's Bioblitz here.
